I will speak briefly on amendment No. 604. Perhaps a note will cover this, but the Minister is saying that emissions are a separate matter. Let us consider a planning application for something where emissions are central to the function of the proposal. Take the case of a wastewater treatment plant where the licence for the wastewater discharge is central to the function of that plant. How is that not a planning matter? That is my first question.

Is the wording that is being taken out in the 2000 Act or is it new wording in this Bill that the Minister is now taking out?
